SIS’s membership represents a broad range of diverse women in media, software, finance, IT, education, and tech sales – with a focus on sharing knowledge and resources to build community, sisterhood, and empowerment through mastering the sales craft. We are thrilled to sit down in conversation with Sistas In Sales founder & CEO Chantel George to talk about the challenges facing Black women in sales and how you can take your sales career to the next level.
